Synopsis

Drawn from over 5,500 sources, Comprehensive Handbook of Chemical Bond Energies compiles the most recent experimental BDE data for more than 19,600 bonds and 102 elements. Organized by bond type, functional group, bond order, bond degree, molecular size, and structure, the data can also be located using the Periodic Table. The book presents data for organics, biochemicals, and radicals as well as clusters, ions, hydrogen- and surface-bonded species, Van der Waals complexes, and halogen-clusters/complexes. It also introduces entirely new data for inorganics and organometallics and summarizes the heats of formation for atoms, free radicals, and monoatomic ions in the gas phase.
